TONY OXLEY CELEBRATION ORCHESTRA - GÜTERSLOH, GERMANY (May-15-1993)


Recently uploaded by request for a friend, another transcendent set by the great musical Alchemist/Shaman Tony Oxley who is one of our very favourites here at IS.
For me this is transformative ritual urban folk music, for a decaying civilization.
FM BROADCAST in brutaly vivid, superb sound quality ... almost terrifying in its intensity.

Enjoy!!!!

    Thanks for this great discovery and many others. You've vastly improved my sound universe.

    Hi Sotise,

    this is an extraordinary concert - for me it belongs easily to the best music Oxley has ever made - and I know almost everything he has recorded plus some.

    Thank you!

    One minor correction : the title is "The Triple Cabinet Of The Triad" and not "...Tried".

    This is what the announcer says plus there is another evidence in the first book which is only about Tony Oxley >
    "Ulrich Kurth
    The 4th Quarter of the Triad.
    Tony Oxley
    Fünf Jahrzehnte improvisierter Musik"
    > http://www.wolke-verlag.de/tony-oxley.html
    (only in german)

    For anyone who doesn't know this, it is a serious mind-bender. Well chosen, Sotise.

    yeah folks this is the Buisness , large scale free music doesnt get much better than this..

    ..hopefully that book will get translated , and a wider distribution....

    a pity Oxley and Minton have never recorded in duo , i always hoped they would.

    Thank you Sotise.
    The beginning is eminently arresting.
    This concert, what a trip. Loads of exquisite moments.

    Another enthusiastic vote for buying *The Enchanted Messenger* -- one of the best large-orchestra versions of the free-improvisation aesthetic (whatever that means!) I've ever heard. If you heard the Celebration Orchestra album on Dossier, imagine something like that but even better.

    Thank you for posting this. I thought it was excellent, and like so much I find here, totally new for me. I took the advice and ordered "The Enchanted Messenger".

    i dont see the magics of Foxley...he doesn't stop when he begin to play, the micros on the drums ar turned high (his bulldog works out the mind of ALL sound engineers while controling all around her) and he doesnt respect the music of other artists. he was perhaps good on the 60 ...now there are few people who wants to perform with him? ...except for CT. But everybody knows why this happens...Oxley loves money NOT music

    I've got Tony's 'Tomorrow Is Here' and this sounds like it may be even better. Unfortunately all four links are '404'. Any chance of a re-up?

    I would be so grateful if this were one of the sets you could re-post. I saw a version of this group a year or two later at the Berlin Jazz Festival and it was one of the shows around that time that opened my ears to new music.

    Thanks!

    Thanks for the re-post! Got it yesterday. Briefly I once met Tony on the lower east side of New York on the street. We talked for a while and he invited me to the Knitting factory for a week long gig with Cecil Taylor being filmed for european tv. I asked him if he was going to use electronics with Cecil. Tony's response was that you have to go slow with Cecil. As well he told me that he had paid 75 quid recently for a copy of his Icnos RCA lp. He had lost his only copy and replaced it.

    Awesome show, thanks Andy! One of the first burns I've played in the clown's new tent. Tremendous stuff; I don't even mind Phil Minton, who I respect but usually can't get into- Time for a re-evaluate?
    Met Mr.Ox once, and he was friendly and totally cool!Always was jealous of those haircuts Jeff Beck,Ronnie Wood,Rod, Barry Guy and Oxley sported!
